The Worshipful Company of Tobacco Pipe Makers and Tobacco Blenders
Part of the World Heritage site at Ironbridge Gorge in Staffordshire, The Broseley Pipeworks Museum is not only a time capsule recording the traditional craft of clay tobacco pipe making but it is also home to a collection of fine and historic tobacco-themed prints owned by the Company.
These prints are on loan to the Museum and many are on display with descriptions, explanations and context provided by the curator.
Whilst many people visit the Museum each year and enjoy seeing the prints, we offer here a selection of the items. We hope that you enjoy them too.
